Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Uracil levels (ng/ml) and dihydrouracil levels (ng/ml), compared in fed and fasting condition2 test days

12 blood samples taken on both test days (fed and fasting condition), to investigate the effect of food on uracil and dihydrouracil levels

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase enzyme activity (nmol/mg*h)baseline

Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase enzyme activity is assessed at baseline to rule out any potential influence of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency on uracil and dihydrouracil levels
